I was looking for the latest news on the Minnesota senate race when I found this:
While most Minnesotans are waiting for their never-ending U.S. Senate race to be decided by the Supreme Court in St. Paul, folks in the hamlet of Nevis, Minn., have taken matters into their own hands.
During the Hubbard County town’s July 4th celebration, a pair of piglets named Norm Coleman and Al Franken will race through downtown to determine the winner of the still-vacant Senate seat.
Tongue firmly in cheek, Mayor Dave McCumin explained: “I’m thinking, geez, this thing has taken eight months and a gazillion dollars, and we can decide this in 15 seconds. And it’ll probably be as accurate as anything the Supreme Court decides. And we’ll be done with it.”
This seems slightly more reasonable than Coleman’s court challenge.
